For the other verbs a particle, either als' or fur, is needed to express the meaning in German. Since the corresponding verbs, for example ANSEHEN and BETRACHTEN, can also occur translations without the particle, sub-categorisation is needed. However, the partic do not function as prepositions(Heringer 1970)in German.
